A tank is filled at a constant rate. 10 minutes after filling is started, the tank contains 4.8L of water. After 35 minutes the

tank contains 7.3L of water.
a. Find the rate at which the tank is being filled?

b. Find the initial volume of fluid in the tank and express it as a function in terms of V and t.

Answer:

Part A)

0.1 liters per minute.

Part B)

There was initially 3.8 liters of water.

\displaystyle V(t) = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8

Part C)

562 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tank is filled at a constant rate. After 10 minutes, the tank contains 4.8 L of water and after 35 minutes, the tank contains 7.3 L of water.

Part A)

We can represent the current data with two points: (10, 4.8) and (35, 7.3). The <em>x-</em>coordinate is measured in minutes since the tank began to be filled and the <em>y-</em>coordinate is measured in how full the tank is in liters.

To find the rate at which the tank is being filled, find the slope between the two points:

\displaystyle m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{(7.3)-(4.8)}{(35)-(10)} = \frac{2.5}{25} = 0.1

In other words, the rate at which the tank is being filled is 0.1 liters per minute.

Part B)

To find the function of the volume of the tank, we can use the point-slope form to first find its equation:

\displaystyle y - y_1 = m( x - x_1)

Where <em>m</em> is the slope/rate of change and (<em>x</em>₁, <em>y</em>₁) is a point.

We will substitute 0.1 for <em>m</em> and let (10, 4.8) be the point. Hence:

\displaystyle y - (4.8) = 0.1(x - 10)

Simplify:

\displaystyle y = 0.1(x-10) + 4.8

Since <em>y</em> represent how full the tank is and <em>x</em> represent the time in minutes since the tank began to be filled, we can substitute <em>y</em> for V(t) and <em>x</em> for <em>t</em>. Thus, our function is:

<em />\displaystyle V(t) = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8<em />

<em />

The initial volume is when <em>t</em> = 0. Evaluate:

\displaystyle V(0) = 0.1 ((0) - 10) + 4.8 = 3.8

There was initially 3.8 liters of water.

Part C)

To find how long it will take for the tank to be completely filled given its maximum capacity of 60 liters, we can let V(t) = 60 and solve for <em>t</em>. Hence:

60 = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8

Subtract:

55.2 = 0.1(t - 10)

Divide:

552 = t - 10

Add. Therefore:

t = 562\text{ minutes}

It will take 562 minutes for the tank to be completely filled.

Spam e-mail containing a virus is sent to 1000 e-mail addresses. After 1 second, a recipient machine broadcasts 10 new spam e-ma
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

Spam e-mail containing a virus is sent to 1000 e-mail addresses. After 1 second, a recipient machine broadcasts 10 new spam e-mails containing the same virus, after which the virus disables itself on that machine. (1) Write a recursive definition (i.e. recurrence relation) to show how many spam emails will be sent out after n seconds. (2) Solve the recurrence relation. (3) How many e-mails are sent at the end of 20 seconds

1.START T=0.....

1000 EMAILS SENT AND RECEIVED BY 1000 M/CS.

T=1.....

EACH OF THE M/C SENDS 10 NEW MAILS ....

.................................

LET M[N] BE THE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT OUT AFTER N SECONDS.

SO , EACH OF THESE M/CS WILL SEND 10 MAILS IN NEXT 1 SECOND.

HENCE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT IN N+1 SECONDS=M[N+1]=

M[N+1]=10*M[N].......................1

THIS IS THE RECURRENCE RELATION.....

2.SOLUTION .....

M[N+1]=10M[N]=10*10M[N-1]=10*10*10M[N-2]=........

M(N+1)=[10^1][M(N)]=[10^2][M(N-1)]=[10^3][M(N-2)]=..........=[10^N][M(1)]=[10^(N+1)][M(0)]

M[N+1]=[10^(N+1)][1000]=[10^(N+1)][10^3]=[10^(N+4)]......................................2

THIS IS THE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT AFTER N+1 SECONDS .....OR ....

M[N]=[10^(N+3)].............................................3

..................IS THE SOLUTION FOR NUMBER OF MAILS SENT AFTER N SECONDS.....

3.AFTER N=20 SECONDS , THE ANSWER IS ....

M[20]=10^(20+3)=10^23

The slope of this line is -1 you find this by using the slip formula of y-y over x-x find two points on the line so I used points (-2,2) and (-1,1) plug them into the formula to get the slope of -1 hope this helps:)
